pupp, I know you've got your hands full but I saw this list of LATCH limits and car seat weights and I thought of you: http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2438668&postcount=123
She takes forever. Since we've had such crazy eating issues since the beginning, I tend to be really easy on her when it comes to food. She likes to play with it a lot, unfortunately, unless she's really hungry, or maybe if she likes what she's eating enough.

It takes Ethan well over 30 mins at home. I dunno if I'm just giving him too long to eat. Maybe I should clean him up at 15 mins after. It'd make my mornings a lot easier not waiting for him. But I remember being a very slow eater growing up. I just wait until Ethan answers that he's done after I repeatedly ask him if he's "All done?" Ethan does fall asleep without the bottle, but it's either a fuss-fest with me rocking him, or it's in the car or in the stroller.

Over the age of 12 months, it's generally recommended that toddlers have no more than 600ml (~20 ounces) of milk a day, otherwise they are a) at risk of iron deficiency and anaemia (this is about the milk itself as well as the amount of solid food that it "displaces" in their diet, and b) they won't eat. O's at a tricky age to try and change this stuff, but if he's really drinking that much then it would be in his interests for that to be pegged back. He'll resist in a way that only toddlers can, but his solids intake will pick up eventually as well once he figures out and accepts that more milk is not forthcoming.
